Dunmurry Male Voice Choir
We are the Dunmurry Male Choir, you can hear us for ten bob
an hour,
Education? No scholars! We've plenty of dollars, we do not
live in a mansion,
Each night as we stroll round the Park, you can hear the
young ladies remark,
"They're the Nutts of Dun Station with a big reputation,
like the laddies from Ballymacarrett"
(there was no photo, just this page)
Born in 1893 Richard Maxwell (second from the right, middle
row) was a choir member in his early twenties. He sang this
chorus all through his life. Only words uncertain are "Dun
Station."
Dear Ronnie, Replying to Ben's request regarding his
intended family tree.
Mum (Elizabeth Hill) was born on the 2nd November, 1897, at
Dunmurry to Robert and Jane Anna Hill (nee Wallace). They
were married at Fountainvale Presbyterian Church, Ballymena
on 15th August, 1891. Robert was a linen finisher,
born 12th July 1869 at Kellswater, Co. Antrim and died at
Dunmurry 17th April, 1915. Jane Anna was born 16th
June, 1867 at Dunmurry and died there on 8th March 1924.
Mum had two brothers Sam (born 24th July 1895) and John (5th
November 1901) and a sister called Anna (born 13th May,
1903). "I have come across an old record which
reveals another brother of Mum's. He is called George Hill
and would be the eldest of the family. He was born on
7th, April 1893 and was married to Mary Clarke in Christ
Church, Belfast on 10th July, 1915. As you know there
was never any mention of him during Mum's lifetime. No
doubt there is a story behind this. There is probably
some connection between him and the Robert Hill (Mum's
cousin) who served with the Palestine police). Sam
Hill served in the British Army during the 1914-18 War, he
married Maggie Cairns in Belfast in 1926 and afterwards
emigrated to Canada. He lived in Timmins, Ontario and
worked in the gold mines until his death. (I cannot
remember the date although he was still alive when Rex when
he was over training for the Royal Air Force during the last
war). A daughter called Kathleen was apparently well
known throughout America as a professional ice skater.
I used to correspond with Maggie and Kathleen but have not
heard from them many years. I did think of looking
them up during one of our many visits to Canada but never
got round to it. John (Johnny) Hill died quite young,
during the 1939-45 war. He married Mary McDowell of Lambeg,
Lisburn and they had two children Alma and Richard Hill.
Richard, married Marie McClelland and they had three
children, he died a few years ago (you will know the date)
The children were Richard, now a minister with two children
(I think); Christopher, now a surgeon with one child and
Cathrine, now married and presently living in Russia.
Marie is still living in Bangor. Alma married Cecil Caughey
and is now widowed. She has a son John (no doubt you
will know his progeny - if any). Anna Hill (Mum's only
sister) married Albert Carr in Belfast Cathedral on 16th
March, 1925. They had two daughters Elizabeth (Betty) and
Arlene. Betty is presently living in England and
Arlene in Hilden, Lisburn. (I'm sure you have more idea of
their offspring than I do.) A son Alan still lives in
Belfast. Dad (Richard Maxwell) was born on the 19th
January, 1893 at Belfast to Richard and Eliza Maxwell (nee
Walsh). He married Elizabeth Hill in Balmoral
Presbyterian Church in April, 1922. (Unfortunately
there seems to be few records on the Maxwell side of the
family).
The Maxwells, Richard and Elizabeth
are buried in Derriaghy at the Parish Church, also buried
there are John and Mary Hill, Elizabeths brother and his
wife.

Newspaper Clipping 1 Our Soldiers - Thursday at three
o'clock a meeting was held in the Y.M.C.A. Hall, Wellington
Place, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
establishment of a Soldiers' Home in this town. Those
present included - Revs Archdeacon ??aver, Wm. Park, George
Shaw, John Spence, N. Green, J. Fordyce, Henry Montgomery, ?
Hanna, Dr. Hannay, J. N. Smith; Sir James H. Haslett, Sir J.
P. Corry, Bart, J.P.; Messrs. R. L. Hamilton, J.P.; James
Crawford, W. Greenhill, Dr. Barnett F (Indian Army), Messrs
John Young, jun., Galgorm Castle; ? Workman, and R. W.
Corry. The Mayor ? J. H. Haslett), on taking the
chair, and that some time since he had been asked to think
over the question of a home for soldiers in Belfast. Having
heard Miss ? story he thought the people of Belfast could
see it to be their duty to give effect to ? He hoped the
movement would not be confined to the soldiers merely, but
would include the police force. Rev. Dr. Hannay then
introduced Miss Sands to the audience. Miss Sands, Cork,
then proceeded to give an account of work amongst soldiers.
From a very small beginning, which originated in a
bible-class conducted by her mother, the work had grown
until now Soldiers' Homes had been established in Dublin,
Cork, and Limerick. Her object in coming to Belfast was for
the purpose of establishing such a home, where soldiers
could spend their evenings profitably and pleasantly. She
did not see why Belfast should not have such a home. She
believed it only required to be put before the Belfast
public. She concluded by intimating that since coming into
the hall she had got a promise of one hundred pounds, but it
would require about two thousand five hundred pounds. Mr. J.
P. Corry, M.P., moved the following resolution - "That this
meeting hereby decides to establish a similar home in
Belfast to those now in operation in Cork, Dublin, and
elsewhere," which was seconded by R. L. Hamilton, J.P. Rev.
H. Hanna, D.D., proposed, and ? Greenhill seconded - "That
this meeting heartily commends the establishing of a
soldiers' home in Belfast to the sympathy and support of the
Christian public of Belfast." ? W. Park proposed - "That
Miss Sands be elected to act as hon. sec/" Rev. Mr. Green
seconded the resolution. On the motion of ? George Shaw,

Newspaper Clipping 2 Original Poetry - A Plea for
Sabbath Rest
The cry of earth's unrest, Of ceaseless toil's dull pain,
From north to south, from east to west, Like murmur of the
sleepless main,
In growing volume seems to say, "Oh, for a restful Sabbath
day!"
The steamboat's surging throb, Where mammon chafes the tide,
As if the very waves to rob, Of rest which Heaven had
ratified,
Resounds as though it would inveigh, 'Gainst outrage on the
hallowed day!
The railway whistle shrill, Piercing the peaceful air,
Where else the loudest sounds had still, Been chime of
bells, and praise and prayer,
Screams down the thundering iron way, Demanding back the
Sabbath day!
The clattering tramway cars, Bearing their goodly freight,
Of comfortable worshippers, To many a sanctuary gate,
Cry out, "Must Christians, too, betray the Sanctity of God's
own day?"
The weary, toil-worn horse, Through seven days doomed to
plod,
Would fain the mute appeal endorse, Uprising to a righteous
God,
From hearts without one hour to pray, Through all the
toilsome Sabbath day.
The cattle in the stall, Demand our kindly heed;
No ear be closed to mercy's call, Nor hand withheld from
pressing need;
But woe to them who pleasure weight, Or gold against the
poor man's day!
Attend, ye sons of toil, To history's lesson plain,
That seven-day-labour's cruel coil, Follows in
"Sunday-pleasure's train:
Then prize your rest, God's law obey, And sanctify the
Sabbath day.
Let pulpit, Christian Press, And life give certain sound,
While foes of truth and righteousness, Would raze their
bulwark to the ground.
God guard that bulwark, come what may, And o'er the earth
breathe Sabbath day!

1) Obituary 6 May 1912 - Mr. Alexander Anderson - We regret
to announce the death of Mr. Alexander Anderson, only
brother of Sir Robert Anderson, Bart., which sad event took
place at an early hour yesterday morning at his residence,
The Park, Dunmurry. Although not in the enjoyment of as good
health for some considerable time past as his friends would
have wished, he was still able to visit the city almost
every day, and to overlook the operations of his extensive
business, and even as late as Friday last he was in Belfast
for several hours without any unusual signs of
indisposition. However, on returning to Dunmurry a severe
attack of pneumonia quickly developed, and this, combined
with his weakened general health, suddenly assumed a very
grave aspect. Dr. McKisack, the family doctor, was at once
summoned, and, together with Dr. Hunter, Dunmurry, and the
deceased gentleman's own son, Dr. W. A. Anderson, did
everything possible for his relief, but in vain.
Mr. Anderson, who was 75 years of age, was born in Ballybay,
County Monaghan, in 1837. Having spent some time in the
business of his father, Mr. James Anderson, who was an
extensive linen merchant, he became desirous of further
experience, and came to Belfast in the early fifties, and
entered the firm of Day & Bottomley (now known as Millar,
Boyd, & Reid), where he rapidly acquired those business
accomplishments which in after life were to fit him for the
successful development of business on his own account, a
business which he managed up till the time of his death. In
1871 Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Mary McLaughlin,
eldest daughter of the late Mr. W. H. McLaughlin, the
well-known contractor, and sister of Mr. W. H. McLaughlin,
J.P., Macedon. The family consists of five sons and five
daughters. One of the sons is a director of the Milford
Spinning Company; another is a most promising young surgeon;
a third is Director in the firm of Messrs. Anderson &
McAuley, a fourth is junior partner in the firm of Salters &
Anderson; and the youngest is also on the staff of Messrs.
Anderson & McAuley. One of the daughters is married to the
Rev. Frank Harvey, B.A., minister of Sales Presbyterian
Church, Manchester. For many years the late Mr. Anderson was
an elder in Malone Presbyterian Church, but since removing
to Dunmurry some seven years ago he joined the congregation
at Dunmurry. As is well known, Sir Robert Anderson, Bart.,
deceased's brother, is at present on a visit to Australia,
and the melancholy tidings have been cabled to Sir Robert
and Lady Anderson by the family solicitor, Mr. Alexander
McDowell. Unlike his more publicly known brother Sir Robert,
Mr. Anderson took a little active part in public life, but
he took the deepest interest in all that made for the
betterment of the people in a quiet and effective way, and
was especially deeply interested in work amongst the young
in the Sunday schools, and for many years was a greatly
esteemed member of the City Y.M.C.A. In politics he was a
staunch Conservative and strong Unionist. The funeral, which
will be private, will take place to-morrow.
2) To the Editor of the Northern Whig (same date as above
clipping) - Sir, Your correspondent "W. D." is, I very much
fear, advocating a mistaken policy for our City Council to
adopt - viz., appointing inspectors! Surely it is time to
cry stop ? this oft-recurring excuse for finding an incon?
of considerable amount out of the public purse for otherwise
unemployable friends or relations. Such we have seen very
much in evidence over another recent Act, locally at least.
No ? employer who values the respect of his fellow citizens,
or his own self-respect, would endeavour to evade the Act,
as your correspondent fears; and even if, from no higher
motive, then the fear that some of his employes will act as
inspector will keep the other class of employer to the
letter of the Act. The spirit of the Act is surely much more
evaded by philanthropic employers (?) extending the hours of
employment on other days of the week, which was surely never
intended. No more inspectors, but a truer spirit of real
brotherhood between employer and employed. Yours, etc.,
Belfast, 7th May 1912. Benita
Small Gardens - To the Editor of the Northern Whig (date as
above) - Sir, One of the disadvantages of residing in
Belfast is in the danger of rheumatism, brought about
principally by damp houses. It has occurred to me that many
are anxious to get into a house with a small garden in
front, and I would warn them against this course, All the
water that falls into these gardens sinks into the ground,
and I fear a great deal of it into the foundation, to rise
as damp inside of the house, as there can be no evaporation
through the paved front. If one wants a garden it would be
better to cement the ground inside the railing, then put a
few feet of really good soil, and allow the water to run
into the footpath, this would keep the foundation perfectly
dry. I would congratulate those who have no garden in front
of their house as being safer in this respect than their
more ambitious neighbours. Yours, etc., Thomas Gray, Crumlin
Road, Belfast, 4th Mat 1912
